Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I know it's been awhile since I have posted. A lot of you know my jeep got broken into back in September and it's been a tough few months to bounce back to say the least. Filming and editing this video brought back a lot of the motivation and creativity that I’ve been lacking over the last few months. I can't thank you guys enough for the kind words and support over the last year and for helping grow this channel to 275,000 subscribers! It's been a wild ride and I'm very excited for what's to come in 2022!
Dude you are awesome! Thank you for your heart and passion. The fact that you are back after that unfortunate experience shows who you are and encourages me in some many ways. Thank you again for all that you do and many blessings brotha
Happy Holidays, Drew. I'm really sorry to hear what happened in September. You may want to hide your Plate # for future safety. Glad you are back in action. Love your work. Cheers from Toronto!
I always look forward to your videos! Especially the winter ones. The longer the wait the more astonishing your videos become! You make amazing content👍keep up the amazing work
I honestly cannot emphasize how much I look forward to your videos. Specially winter videos. As a person who has never seen snow in my life, love that I'm able to experience it vicariously through your videos.
Can we please just admire how much goes into this camera work, the clips and scenes are insane and takes so much dedication that goes unseen. Absolutely amazing brother. Love it
i was think the same thing like just to film the drive he must have stopped to set up the camera a over a dozen times. this mans dedication is amazing it it really shows
Drew, from someone who makes their living full time doing video production, I just want to take a moment and say how incredibly talented you are. You can really tell how much care and effort you put in to your work, and the result is something absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Dude I'm so sorry to hear about what happened and glad you've been able to come back even stronger than ever! Really needed this today, your videos mean the world to us people who are a little tied down and unable to get out for a solo camping adventure
@@drewsimms Look Up ketoCarnivore eating as the sugar gives you highs and lows. You can get away with sugar/bread/pasta/seed oils but they will take a toll someday. I see the unique video shots and know the time you took to get these. The edits and waterfall shots are first rate! Remember Oregon is in trouble politically defundingP0LICEandAllowingCrimeWithN0punishment. Stay safe and frosty sir!
I just discovered you pls dont stop filming I am loving your videos. They're now my stress reliever and it fels like i am traveling as well. God bless you!
Blown away from that bombastic intro Drew. What an amazing country and views. So sorry to hear about those grubs stealing your stuff. Good to hear you didn't give in, got back on your feet and endured after this. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Absolutely in love with your videos Drew and that set up is an absolute dream, especially in those conditions. Sorry to hear your Jeep got broken into as I can only imagine how painful that must have felt. Look forward to more videos whenever they come. 🤙🏼
I absolutely love Drew’s videos. I turn everything else off and completely immerse myself in the sensory experience these videos give. I don’t even know how Drew manages to make me feel the way I do with these videos! These snow camping ones really hit the spot. 10/10
My dad and I watched this on our big screen, epic as usual and I couldn’t wait for this upload. Always a cinematic masterpiece. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I am so glad you are back on your feet. I’m happy you are still getting sponsors, you deserve everything you are getting!! Keep up the incredible work!
Your videos are something else, the edit, his pacing, the composition of the shots that u take to tell the story, the fact that you put your camera(s) and drone in so many places to take the right shots and angles for your story is absolutely stunning and shows how much effort and creativity goes into creating a video like this, this is truly incredible content, there are a lot o amazing travel videos and channels that go into this style, but this one is my favorite in terms of cinematics and edit, composition, congrats, incredible work.
Some people don't understand, staying at your place , enjoying your meal and have fun alone is fucking priceless . Simply no bullshit.Enjoy the silence,the calmness around you 🌱🍀❤️
Drew, I’m sorry to hear about your break in, I can’t imagine how you feel. Just know that your work is so appreciated and it’s so good to see you back online sharing these amazing scenes and your life. Thank you for this, Merry Christmas!
The quality of this video is beyond any words. I have genuinely never watched a video of such quality and breathtaking shots of nature. Man you are a true artist. I hope you are proud of yourself. Cheers!!
Speechless. Absolutely beautiful. After your post from the car break in, all I could think was “ I hope this doesn’t stop him”. You have a gift and serious talent Drew. To see you’ve come back and persevere despite that heavy setback, you are more than on your way to a lifetime of success & happiness. You’re a self sufficient determined young dude & so many of us are so proud of you. I wish nothing but a year of prosperity, health and protection for you. All the best.
throughout the times ive used youtube for the past decade, this is the first video that i've watched without skipping... damm this is a damm movie drew!
QUALITY! The wait was worth it. As others have said sorry to hear of the break in. I enjoy your videos more than any on TH-cam. Your ability to capture the beauty and the amount of work you put into these videos is simply amazing. Thanks for sharing and letting us go with you on these epic journeys. Keep up the great work.
Once more, bravo! Your stories have such depth, the way the visuals feel effortless and carry us through the scenery, almost allowing us to smell the pines, feel the heat of fire, the warmth of coffee. Keep on going dude, your work is a sight for sore eyes 🤙🏼
You will bounce back and be the stronger for it. You are young, resourceful and full of promise. Those who stole from you will be the losers in the long run, right beats what seems like might every time. God bless you.
Drew your adventures have inspired me to solo camp in my golden years! Thanks for telling these wilderness stories through the artistry of your lens. You bounced back determined to share! Bravo!
Good to see you back and that you didn't let the break in stop you from doing you. Can't wait to see more of your adventures and keep up the amazing work.
I know several people that have traveled to Washington, and their vehicle was broken into. Look into having some type of lock box welded/secured underneath your jeep. That way you can keep laptops, etc safe and out of sight. With making YT videos and people seeing all the equipment you have and then see you in their town/city, you are opt in having your jeep broken into. Its sad but true. Safe travels and great video. Happy Trails...
Hey Drew...you may have had some very precious possessions taken from you and an interruption to your travels but the most important thing that wasn't taken is your talent and heart for producing beautiful images. This latest video is testimony to your undoubted skills for conveying scenes we could only imagine but which you bring into our living rooms and make us feel were there...keep at it!
As always Drew, Bravo. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of gear and belongings. Will never understand why some chose to make life harder for other. Your perseverance and attitude is amazing. And you are back at it, helping the rest of us to enjoy this planet, vicariously through you. May 2022 bring you more safe travels, and success. Happy New Year!
Drew, your videos are the apex of adventure and overlanding content back here at our home (me and my wife). You are a very talented professional, we are very sorry to hear about your stolen items, but also very happy to know that you're back, and better than ever. As most of the things, what doesn't kill you, only make you stronger (and wiser). Thanks for sharing your routine and experiences, be sure that you have big fans here in Brazil.
I just wanted to say I’m so sorry to hear about all your stuff getting stolen it is wrong in so many ways but you’re looking on the bright side you’re healthy you’re smiling and you’re still doing what you love hopefully they will catch the people that did that to you and you will get your memories back much love
Intro is breathtaking. I find myself very peaceful and dreamy when I watch your videos. Beautiful! 😍😊thank you for sharing. Loving all the snow I've never been in or seen soo much of it!
Thank you for letting me watch such wonderful videos. Thank you so much for trying to make such a wonderful video. I pray that luck and blessings will always be with you...
Drew....you are definitely an artist when it comes to filming and setting up shots. Your rig is an awesome setup...looks like you can sleep inside the Jeep as well as the rooftop tent. I currently have a no build setup in my Jeep trailhawk and its cozy while wintercamping here in Canada. My maiden name is Simms which is interesting as it isnt very common...British I think on my grandfathers side. Anyways...glad you are rebounding from your breakin...its not easy to bounce back...I know as its happened to me as well. Enjoy your holidays...again epic video...thanks for taking us along! 🌲🌲🌲
Drew finally getting the views and subscribers he deserves. Been here since 20k and have been amazed by his content. I don’t even do outdoors but this guy makes me want to. So mesmerizing. Thank you Drew!
Dude you work so hard on getting your shots! I appreciate the effort, Makes for beautiful videos! I'm sorry someone stole your gear. And its a reminder that we always need to have backups at home or at a family members place, somewhere where it'll be safe and you can update it every year or so. Love the content brother!
Thanks Elijah! Definitely unfortunate about the hard drives and was lucky I had my favorites backed up. The new back up set up is much more stable haha.
Anyone who has ever made even a small video knows how much time and effort it takes to make one like this. Good background music and sound effects, beautiful scenery, thank you for making a beautiful video. 👍
The amount of time it takes, to get all those camera angles, is exquisite. It’s truly a talent you have. I just bought the same jeep and I love your setup. Safe travels
I would love for you to make a series of videos like this intro. Each video could show the beauty of various states and countries. Just a short 3 minute montage of video shoots with perhaps a little narration or some text showing some intriguing facts of said state/ country.
Damn! That’s rough.. I left the states in 2015 and haven’t looked back. Couldn’t imagine someone breaking into my truck up here in Finland! Heck, I’ve dropped my wallet on the beach and went back later in the day to find someone had taken it to the nearest ice cream stand and they were holding it for me. Everything was still in it, including a thousand euro (worth more than $1k USD). People are so respectful and responsible up here and by federal law everyone is allowed to enjoy the forests freely without hinderance - and ~70% of Finland is forest, with 180k lakes, so it’s an overlanding paradise! I also love lake hopping with the float plane and elk hunting! 🤠
I randomly bumped into this channel by chance about 3 weeks ago after watching a Kara and Nate video, I have not stopped watching. The quality of your videos is on point 👌.
Wow! You are very talented in more ways than 1, your videos help me soften anxieties and I cannot wait to face my fears and camp like you one day! Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos!
Seeing the waterfalls brings tears to my eyes, God did some amazing work with his hands, I pray I can see something like this in person one day, what a beautiful adventure, thank you for sharing✨
Drew, I love your content and you have inspired me to grab a camera and get outdoors myself! Thank you so much for everything you create. Hope to run into you on a trail someday!
I'm a new subscriber and I am really enjoying your content. There is something strangely calming when watching your vlogs. Like finding a bit of inner peace where I can escape vicariously through you. People suck,. period... end of story. To steal from and rob someone of their life and lifestyle is sad in many ways. For you and your loss and for the person robbing you that they feel the need to do so. Best of luck rebuilding and getting back to where you want to be. I'll be watching. Take care Drew.
Drew, you're a darn one man movie studio. A gifted photographer videographer, editor, actor, story and screen writer. What are you going to be when you grow up? Oh, and a chef on the side. I keep coming back just to get into the groove. Truly amazing.
Merry Christmas Drew, your videos are very inspiring, especially in this strange time. Thank you for being my eyes, and providing these beautiful and scenic images for me to think about when I close my eyes at night. I call this is my "virtual" getaway. Thank you, stay safe, safe warm, and happy new year!
Great video man. I’m sorry about your heat that was stolen. We can never be too careful. Thank you for being strong and continuing to vlog. I love watching your videos.
Another epic Drew Simms Video and all I can say is WOW. I mean shots like started at 21:59 that opens up to the grand beauty of the waterfall, the creativity, the mastery, the control, The Man Drew Simms. Well done sir !!
This was the best thing happened today when the day was not going good but after watching this video I do not know but I really felt good, thanks for introducing to a new perspective of life.
It sucks when you have been violated. I had the same th8ng happenned to me but my XJ was stolen and found itn2 months later. Empty and every thing broken or stolen. You did a great job. Wonderful scenery continue and look forward to some more. Thank you for putting this together.
Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
This is the second video I watch on your channel and I'm extremally shocked for the amount of work and effort you put to make these videos 😍😍 good luck and please keep up the great job 🥰
Absolutely stunning.... I love the winter landscapes. 💜 I'm sorry to hear about your jeep getting broken into. Just found your channel and loving it so far.
Absolutely stunning video Drew. As a travel filmmaker myself I know how exhausting it is to get all these shots. And these shots are absolutely stunning. Thanks for the adventures!
this guy never fails to amaze me, go forward dude pave your way and I always look up to you, always been waitin for ur videos man, keep up drew my man keep it up
Just imagine the planning, patience, skill and the desire to get the shot at 4:16 What an absolutely unique shot, while keeping the jeep in focus throughout. Drew, how far was the camera in this shot? And most importantly, how did you place the camera in such a place?
Thanks for the kind words! That was a fun shot to set up haha. Alot of hiking through the snow to get that one but it's always fun to try and get those angles.
Just casually scrolling through my feed only to find out DREW SIMMS UPLOADED 3 WEEKS AGO! Such a nice little surprise treat. Great video as always Drew.
So sorry to hear about your stuff being stolen. It’s bad enough to lose the material items to someone’s greed but to lose those hard drives with so many memories is brutal. I had a hard drive go belly up once and lost several years worth of photos. Many don’t understand the heartbreak. I do. Nice to see that you’re at least attempting to move on and make new memories.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I know it's been awhile since I have posted.

Seriously! I’ve been checking your channel for months now waiting for another video. I wish you all the best moving forward.
Love to hear you enjoyed this one! Hopefully you can get out and see some snow for yourself soon!
Can we please just admire how much goes into this camera work, the clips and scenes are insane and takes so much dedication that goes unseen. Absolutely amazing brother. Love it
Holy I know. All the different spots he sets up. Ton of work. Makes me miss the outdoors
A Chef, Adventurer, & cinematographer! This is content!
I watched this video with my two boys, 9 & 7 and they like it so much, they made me like the video and subscribe. Keep up the great work.

Drew, you have no idea how much I wish I was you. Being able to live this life, being able to enjoy solitude in a snow clad world....
First time watching one of your videos. Amazing! Clearly, nobody stole your talent!

Drew, I love your content and you have inspired me to grab a camera and get outdoors myself! Thank you so much for everything you create. Hope to run into you on a trail someday!
I'm a new subscriber and I am really enjoying your content. There is something strangely calming when watching your vlogs. Like finding a bit of inner peace where I can escape vicariously through you. People suck,. period... end of story. To steal from and rob someone of their life and lifestyle is sad in many ways. For you and your loss and for the person robbing you that they feel the need to do so. Best of luck rebuilding and getting back to where you want to be. I'll be watching. Take care Drew.
Drew, you're a darn one man movie studio. A gifted photographer videographer, editor, actor, story and screen writer. What are you going to be when you grow up? Oh, and a chef on the side. I keep coming back just to get into the groove. Truly amazing.
Merry Christmas Drew, your videos are very inspiring, especially in this strange time. Thank you for being my eyes, and providing these beautiful and scenic images for me to think about when I close my eyes at night. I call this is my "virtual" getaway. Thank you, stay safe, safe warm, and happy new year!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the support Maxim!
Those cinematic shots were out of this world. Thanks for letting us know how beautiful this world is. 👌👌
Great video man. I’m sorry about your heat that was stolen. We can never be too careful. Thank you for being strong and continuing to vlog. I love watching your videos.
It was a small setback but feeling good and happy to be back! Thanks for the support!
My wife and I especially love the little cooking gadgets
Another epic Drew Simms Video and all I can say is WOW. I mean shots like started at 21:59 that opens up to the grand beauty of the waterfall, the creativity, the mastery, the control, The Man Drew Simms. Well done sir !!
Holy moly it's been long. Good to see you Drew. Merry Christmas to you And everyone reading this comment. 🙏❤️
Thanks for being here! Hope you have a great christmas!
your content is terrific dude, wow
Well suprise to see you here
Damn, you nailed these intro scenes, love it!
This was the best thing happened today when the day was not going good but after watching this video I do not know but I really felt good, thanks for introducing to a new perspective of life.
It sucks when you have been violated. I had the same th8ng happenned to me but my XJ was stolen and found itn2 months later. Empty and every thing broken or stolen. You did a great job. Wonderful scenery continue and look forward to some more. Thank you for putting this together.
Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
This is the second video I watch on your channel and I'm extremally shocked for the amount of work and effort you put to make these videos 😍😍 good luck and please keep up the great job 🥰
So glad to see you back at it! You're a huge inspiration Drew.
Love watching the coffee ritual. Peace and solitude ❤️
Man, I could watch a 30 minute video of you preparing food and cooking. Your shots of it are crisp and the food looks amazing!
Absolutely stunning.... I love the winter landscapes. 💜 I'm sorry to hear about your jeep getting broken into. Just found your channel and loving it so far.
This was excellently filmed, It felt like watching a remote mountain special for Top Gear or a Netflix nature show. Great work.
Note: This channel is more addictive for solo life💫
Glad you enjoy Sumanth!
@@drewsimms love from India ❤️
Loads of good hiking and biking around Sahalie Falls. Pretty in the snow.
One word ... Inspiration..
2nd sentence... crisp and heavenly shots, vloging on another Level ...
Absolutely stunning video Drew. As a travel filmmaker myself I know how exhausting it is to get all these shots. And these shots are absolutely stunning. Thanks for the adventures!
this guy never fails to amaze me, go forward dude pave your way and I always look up to you, always been waitin for ur videos man, keep up drew my man keep it up
Thanks Aman! Love to hear that brotha
Just imagine the planning, patience, skill and the desire to get the shot at 4:16
What an absolutely unique shot, while keeping the jeep in focus throughout. Drew, how far was the camera in this shot? And most importantly, how did you place the camera in such a place?
Thanks for the kind words! That was a fun shot to set up haha. Alot of hiking through the snow to get that one but it's always fun to try and get those angles.
Just casually scrolling through my feed only to find out DREW SIMMS UPLOADED 3 WEEKS AGO! Such a nice little surprise treat. Great video as always Drew.
So sorry to hear about your stuff being stolen. It’s bad enough to lose the material items to someone’s greed but to lose those hard drives with so many memories is brutal. I had a hard drive go belly up once and lost several years worth of photos. Many don’t understand the heartbreak. I do. Nice to see that you’re at least attempting to move on and make new memories.
